Self-Management Interventions for Facilitating Life Participation for Persons with Kidney Failure

For persons with kidney failure, life participation is a critically important outcome, strongly linked to quality of life and mortality. To support patients' self-management abilities, three domains are typically emphasized: medical management, emotional management, and management of everyday life ( i.e. , role management). Although role management is strongly linked to life participation, there is currently limited research on interventions designed to support it. We explored existing self-management interventions that aim to support everyday life functioning, rather than only medical management.
